Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2021). Dynamics of diffractive dissociation. The European Physical Journal C, 81(2), Article 175. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-021-08953-9

We describe a QCD based model which incorporates the main properties of the inclusive particle distributions expected for diffractive processes, including the diffractive dissociation at high energies. We study, in turn, the total cross section, σtot... Read More about Dynamics of diffractive dissociation.

Isolating the Odderon in central production in high energy pA and AA collisions (2020)
Journal Article
McNulty, R., Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2020). Isolating the Odderon in central production in high energy pA and AA collisions. The European Physical Journal C, 80(3), Article 80. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-7846-5

We study the rapidity dependence of the central exclusive production cross sections of C-even mesons in pA and AA collisions, where A is a heavy ion. We observe qualitatively different behaviour of the contributions arising from γ-Odderon and Pomeron...

Bethe phase including proton excitations (2020)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2020). Bethe phase including proton excitations. Physical Review D, 101(1), Article 016018. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.101.016018

We evaluate the contribution of inelastic intermediate states (such as p → N excitations) to the phase between the one-photon-exchange and the “nuclear” high energy pp scattering amplitudes as t → 0, caused by multiphoton diagrams. It turns out to be... Read More about Bethe phase including proton excitations.

Colliding Pomerons (2019)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Colliding Pomerons. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 46(11), Article 11LT01. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ab3a88

We recall the main properties of inclusive particle distributions expected for Pomeron-proton and Pomeron–Pomeron interactions. Due to the small size of the Pomeron we expect larger transverse momenta of secondaries and a smaller probability of multi... Read More about Colliding Pomerons.

The fusion of hard and soft Pomerons: 3-jet diffractive production (2019)
Journal Article

We discuss the salient features of exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies. Special attention is paid to the space-time picture of the process. We account for both coherent and incoherent contributions. The explicit... Read More about Exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions.

Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC (2019)
Journal Article

We explore the possibility of observing odderon exchange in proton-ion collisions at the LHC, via the ultraperipheral photoproduction of C-even mesons. As well as the signal, we consider in detail the principle backgrounds, due to QCD-initiated produ... Read More about Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC.

Black disk radius constrained by unitarity (2018)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2018). Black disk radius constrained by unitarity. Physics Letters B, 787, 167-170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2018.10.054

We argue that if the elastic proton–proton cross section increases with energy, the Froissart-like high energy behaviour of the elastic amplitude (which corresponds to a ‘black disk’ of radius R(s) = c ln s −βln(ln s)) is the only possibility to sati...

Inspired by the new TOTEM data on elastic pp scattering at 13 TeV, we study the possibility to describe all the diffractive collider data (, , ) in a wide interval of energy (0.0625 to 13 TeV) in the framework of a two-channel eikonal model. We show... Read More about Elastic and diffractive scattering at the LHC.

Multiple interactions and rapidity gap survival (2018)
Journal Article

Observations of rare processes containing large rapidity gaps at high energy colliders may be exceptionally informative. However the cross sections of these events are small in comparison with that for the inclusive processes since there is a large p... Read More about Multiple interactions and rapidity gap survival.

Black disk, maximal Odderon and unitarity (2018)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2018). Black disk, maximal Odderon and unitarity. Physics Letters B, 780, 352-356. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2018.03.025

We argue that the so-called maximal Odderon contribution breaks the ‘black disk’ behaviorof the asymp-totic amplitude, since the cross section of the events with Large Rapidity Gaps grows faster than the total cross section. That is the ‘maximal Odde... Read More about Black disk, maximal Odderon and unitarity.

Elastic proton-proton scattering at 13 TeV (2018)

The predictions of a model which was tuned in 2013 to describe the elastic and diffractive p p - and/or p ¯ p -data at collider energies up to 7 TeV are compared with the new 13 TeV TOTEM results. The possibility of the presence of an odd-signature O... Read More about Elastic proton-proton scattering at 13 TeV.

Total π + p cross section extracted from the leading neutron spectra at the LHC (2017)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2017). Total π + p cross section extracted from the leading neutron spectra at the LHC. Physical Review D, 96(3), Article 034018. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.96.034018

We use the very forward neutron energy spectra measured by the LHC forward experiment at 7 TeV to extract the πþp total cross section at center-of-mass energies in the range 2.3–3.5 TeV. To do this, we have to first isolate the π-exchange pole in for... Read More about Total π + p cross section extracted from the leading neutron spectra at the LHC.

Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations (2016)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., Ryskin, M., & Schegelsky, V. (2016). Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations. The European Physical Journal C, 76(4), Article 193. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4055-3

We argue that the secondaries produced in high-energy hadron collisions are emitted by small-size sources distributed over a much larger area in impact parameter space occupied by the interaction amplitude. That is, Bose–Einstein correlation of two e... Read More about Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations.

Inclusive prompt $$\chi _{c,b}(1^{++})$$ χ c , b ( 1 + + ) production at the LHC (2015)
Journal Article
Shuvaev, A., Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2015). Inclusive prompt $$\chi _{c,b}(1^{++})$$ χ c , b ( 1 + + ) production at the LHC. The European Physical Journal C, 75(12), Article 616. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3840-8

We study the prompt production of the χc(1+) and χb(1+) mesons at high energies. Unlike χ(0+,2+) production, χ(1+) mesons cannot be created at LO via the fusion of two on-mass-shell gluons, that is, gg→χc,b(1+) are not allowed. However, the available...

We evaluate, in a model-independent way, the signal-to-background ratio for Higgs→ b¯b detection in exclusive double-diffractive events at the Tevatron and the LHC. For the missing-mass approach to be able to identify the Higgs boson, it will be nece... Read More about Double-diffractive processes in high resolution missing-mass experiments at the Tevatron.
